TOWARDS A MULTI-AGENT ARCHITECTURE FOR WEB APPLICATIONS

Tiago Garcia, Luís Morgado

2008

Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach that integrates multi-agent system architectures and service oriented architectures to address web application modelling and implementation. An adaptation of the common three tier architecture is used, with the intervening entities being agents and multi-agent societies. To address the specificity of web applications subsystems, three distinct agent types are proposed, each with specific concerns. A model driven approach is proposed to concretize the mapping between agent based and service based layers.
